Launch 'Phog' Scholarship Tonight
Fans Honor Cage Coach At Banquet
Presentation to the University of Kansas of the Forrest C. Allen Scholarship Fund, and celebration of the 25th anniversary of the famous basketball mentor's association with the University, will feature the pre-game festivities at the Missouri-Kansas basketball game tonight, marking the end of the basketball season on Mt. Oread. Dr. Ed Elbel, of the department of physical education, is general chairman in charge of arrangements.
Began 25 Years Ago
More than 300 reservations for the "Phog" Allen dinner in the Memorial Union building have been received, and among them are many high state and University officials and former basketball stars who have paraded before generations of students on the Hill. A: the dinner, Paul Endacott, cage star who was graduated from the School of Engineering and Architecture in 1923, and now a vice-president of the Phillips Petroleum company, will present to Dr. Allen, a bound volume of letters of congratulation from former players, friends, and members of the Allen family. The cover of the volume is fashioned from hand carved oak, bound in pigskin, and carries the caption, "Phog," on the front. It was designed by Miss Betty Schwartz, instructor in the department of design. A gift will be presented also to Mrs. Allen at the dinner.
Money Into Bonds
At the pre-game ceremonies, when the scholarship will be presented to the University, Chancellor Deane W. Malot will speak briefly in honor of the occasion, and a gift presented to Dr. Allen from the freshman cage squad. A floral offering will be made to Mrs. Allen by the varsity squad. Following the Missouri game, Dr. and Mrs. Allen will be "at home" to friends, in the lounge of the Memorial Union building.
More than $700 has already been contributed to the Allen Scholarship Fund and donations are still coming in. The money, which will be administered by the University's committee on aids and awards, will be invested in defense bonds, and the funds will be available for scholarships upon maturity of the bonds. Presentation of the fund to the University will be made by Balfour Jeffrey, Topeka attorney, and 1928 graduate of the School of Law.

Dance After Game
★★★
Tiger Varsity
Regardless of the outcome of tonight's all-important game with the Missouri Tigers, students will be swinging out to the music of Russ Chambers and his orchestra at the Tiger varsity in the Memorial Union ballroom soon after the cage contest is over. The dance will last for two hours, from 9:30 to 11:30, and will be a sweater-skirt affair.

If the varsity turns out to be a victory celebration, students will have enough reason to celebrate, for they will be co-champions.
Comedy To Be Read Radio Style
The staged reading of "Mrs. Moonlight," a comedy by Benn Wolf Levy, will be given by the department of speech and drama at 8:15 o'clock Monday and Tuesday nights in the little theater of Green hall.
The narrator for the play will be James Barton, instructor of speech. Professor Crafton will read the part of Tom Moonlight, and Reola Durand, college junior, will take the role of Sarah Moonlight.
Reading the part of Willie Ragg will be Kenneth Jackson, college senior; Virginia Davis, college freshman, will read the role of Edith.
Resembling a radio presentation, the interpretation will be more elaborate than a common reading, yet not so detailed as a regular production. This new experiment, directed by Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, centers around the results of a woman's wish to remain young.
The part of Percy Middling in the play will be taken by Donald Dixon, instructor of speech and drama Jessica Crafton, wife of Professor Crafton, will read the part of Mmnie.
The character of Jane Middling will be portrayed by Constance Moses, college sophomore; Daniel Bachman, college freshman, will read the role of Peter Middling.
The presentation will be given Monday night for season ticket holders, and Tuesday night for students having activity tickets.

The atmosphere in center Marvin hall at 2 o'clock this afternoon was a mingling of hilarity, music, and conjecturing. Groups of engineers bunched around the pictures of Hobnail Hop queen candidates exhibited on bulletin boards; dance music blared from a phonograph; ballots were cast and tickets bought in a setting designed to make the timid soul acutely aware of what he would miss if he didn't at- tend the dance tomorrow night

charge of the polls called this a record vote, surpassing any previous balloting for the annual engineering brawl. Voting was expected to be heavier as the closing hour approached.
Students Fail To Take Hint-- Few Stamp Sales
The sale of defense bond stamps by Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall has been slow. Since the desk was opened Tuesday morning only $35 worth of stamps have been sold.
The idea of the campaign is to determine how many students can be encouraged to buy stamps for the future purchase of bonds. The fraternity has been doing its part by making the stamps available to students.
Folders are issued free of charge to students who buy the stamps and these booklets are marked off in sections large enough to hold several stamps.
Cooperating with the organization are Bricks, Rowlands Book store, the Jayhawker Cafe and both the Union fountain and cafeteria. Students who wish to follow the Scabbard and Blade slogan, "Match a coke with a stamp," may purchase the stamp along with the coke at these places.
Forensic Squad To Iowa Debate
Four members of Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary forensic fraternity, are attending an annual invitational debate at Iowa University in Iowa City this weekend. Next to the Missouri Valley Forensics meeting, this trip is the most important competitive forensic event for the University, E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, said today.
Members attending the meeting are Arthur Nelson, college sophomore; Merrill Peterson, college junior; Russell Baker, business senior; and Donald Mitchell, business senior. The students will take part in six rounds of debate as well as oratory, discussion, and extemporaneous speaking.
The debate question is "Resolved: That democracies should form a federation based upon the Atlantic Charter after the war." The affirmative team will be Nelson and Mitchell, and the negative team will be Peterson and Baker.
The students left for Iowa Wednesday night and will return to the University Sunday.
To Face Tigers In Championship Effort Tonight
It's a heavily favored Jayhawker crew that will flap wings with a clawless Missouri Tiger at 7:30 o'clock tonight in Hoch auditorium in an effort to clinch a tie for the Big Six title with Oklahoma and a passible chance to compete in the N.C.A.A. play-offs.
Not only will the game itself involve interesting developments but the chance still exists, although quite remote, that Ralph "Cappy" Miller may close his regular intercollegiate career by setting a new record. What kind of a record it may be can change three times within five points.
If Miller scores 28 points, he will break the individual conference scoring record for a Kansas player which Howard Engleman holds at 27 points. If "Cappy" comes through with three more points he will break Jimmy McNatt's (Oklahoma) conference record of 30 points. And if Miller continues to rake in the points and totals 33 or more, he will break

Engleman's full season average of 16.5 points a game for conference play.
Along with Miller three other players will be completing their conference careers tonight. T. P. Hunter,
